Learning what 10 acres in the foothills of East Tennessee has to teach as I trudge clumsily back to the land.

Rain and a little rest

With two days of rain behind us (1.3 inches) and two more on the way, not much will get done this weekend. Getting all the brambles, berries and grapes in the ground was a good move. Sunday night low is predicted to be near freezing. I cut up four old cotton curtains to cover the blueberries just in case.

I helped a neighbor haul lumber for a building project. He will be at the ready when I need him.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: Our son from Minnesota is coming in tomorrow for a week, so I'm not sure how many posts there will be in the coming days. This is his first time home in nine months.

About Me

After a career in newspapers and living in suburbs and cities all of our lives, my wife and I moved to a heavily wooded 10 acres in the Deerfield community of Louisville, Tennessee. We eagerly learn what this 10 acres has to teach.
